Cave (diagonal)

Here's another Cave variation, made to practice for WPC 2023. Penpa link: https://tinyurl.com/yuwzdych


Rules: Shade some cells in the grid. The numbers must be unshaded, and tell how many cells it sees diagonally (including itself!). All unshaded cells must be connected. All shaded cells must be connected to the outside of the grid.

Parity and Simple Loops (and 5 puzzles)

Image
Before posting the simple loops, I would like to give an introduction to parity, which will be useful for tougher puzzles. If we consider the grid as a checkerboard, any loop segment will alternate between gray and white cells. Here are the simple loop puzzles as promised. Most won't require parity deductions. #227 https://puzz.link/p?simpleloop/9/8/0030h20g3486000 #13 https://puzz.link/p?simpleloop/8/8/240g00200gs00 #63 https://puzz.link/p?simpleloop/13/12/10h0002oc0002000g8c00000g5002100 #120 https://puzz.link/p?simpleloop/21/10/g0g03o80004kggf08000o20203iph0g4a0220109g3 #257 https://puzz.link/p?simpleloop/12/12/1g004g04000000002g000002000h0
